R. D. Welch

R. D. Welch

He completed his LL.B. last year. For one year he was a science student and then changed to law. He has been at Victoria for five years (full-time last year) and was formerly at Wellington College.

At present he is studying for a LL.M. If elected he will favour an executive functioning as a unit; constitutional changes to ensure a more go-ahead executive committee; moves which will reduce student apathy; action by the executive to improve student accommodation, to improve facilities, to improve liaison between groups, improvements in town-gown relationships in all matters for student benefit, whether or not executive has previously concerned itself with those matters.

Promises: He will work for the good of students, stand up for what he believes is in the best interests of the majority, will not bicker.

Qualifications: Has been a full-time and part-time student and knows the problems of both. Has lived in a hostel, boarded and is at present flatting.

While David believes that social activities have a proper place in student activity, he feels that there is need for exec to have more serious aims. Among the matters which he considers proper for action by exec are: finance for purchase, leasing or building accommodation, establishing alumni support, appointment of student counsellor, advocating changes in or new courses, investigating failure rates, etc.
